Selecting Priority Statuses on New Requests

Now when you head to your Jar to submit a new request, you’ll see the ability to select a priority status on your request from a drop-down menu of options.

This new field will help your designer understand what requests should be worked on before others.

Have a deadline coming up that you want to make sure you meet? Ratchet up that request’s priority to urgent!

Found out a request you submitted isn’t going to be needed for a while and would rather have your designer work on other items? Set it to low!

Not sure which priority status should you select?

Here’s a handy guide to figuring out.

Urgent

For when there’s a difference between you getting it 2 AM and 4 AM because you needed it, like, yesterday.

High

When you definitely need this item prioritized over the items in your queue

Medium (the default status)

When you’re happy with your designer working on the request at their usual studious pace. This is the best status for the majority of requests.

Low

When the request in question can wait until the other items in your queue are complete

Now, if you decide every single one of your requests are so important you select “urgent” for each of them, we’ll work on them on a first in first out basis. Please use common sense and use this status only when the request really is urgent.

See and Change the Priority Status of Your Existing Requests

When you log in to Jar and head to your past requests page you’ll see that each of your requests now has a priority status associated with it.

Should you want to communicate that one request is more urgent than others with your designer simply click on the request whose priority status you would like to change, select your new status from the drop-down, and click update.

Your designer will now know this request has a new priority status. Boom. That was easy.
